Modric signs new one-year AC Milan deal to stay until 2027

Luka Modric has extended his contract with AC Milan for a further season, keeping the Croatian midfielder at San Siro until 30 June 2027.

Milan confirmed the agreement in an official statement on Thursday, announcing that the former Ballon d’Or winner will remain part of the squad after convincing the club hierarchy with his performances since arriving at the club.

The Serie A side underlined that Modric will continue to wear the No 14 shirt next season and reiterated their belief that his experience and personality make him a key figure both on and off the pitch.

Club praise for veteran midfielder

In its announcement, Milan highlighted the 40-year-old’s impact in the dressing room and on the field, pointing to his leadership qualities and his role in guiding younger players.

The club described Modric as one of the outstanding footballers in the world and stressed that his continuity reflects their full confidence in his ability to remain influential in midfield.

The Croatia international featured in 37 matches for Milan in all competitions last season, scoring two goals. The club indicated that his ambition to achieve more with the team was a decisive factor in the decision to extend his stay.

Milan target domestic and European success

Milan presented the contract renewal as part of a wider strategy to strengthen the squad for challenges over the next two seasons, as they aim to compete for trophies in both domestic and European competitions.

The club believes Modric’s vast experience at the highest level will remain central to its plans, particularly in orchestrating play in midfield and maintaining a competitive mentality within the squad.

By committing to another year in Milan colours, Modric is expected to continue shouldering a leading role in the team’s structure as the Rossoneri look to build on last season’s campaign and push for further honours.
